As shown in FIG. 1, the system 100 is shown, including: a local connection party 102 and a remote connection party 1〇4. The local connection port 102 and the remote connection party 1〇4 can communicate via the pycn. Electron mirror 112 can include four or more physical channels' each of which includes an unmasked twisted pair (UTP). The local connection party 1〇2 and the remote connection party 1〇4 can communicate via two or more physical channels in the electrical gauge 112. For example, Ethernet based on twisted pair standard 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T can utilize two pairs of unmasked twisted pair (UTP), while Ethernet based on twisted pair standard i〇〇OBASE_T and 10GBASE-T Use four pairs of uncovered twisted pair (UTP). However, the present invention can change the number of physical channels used to transmit data. In one embodiment of the invention, the connecting parties 102 and/or 104 may comprise a twisted pair physical layer capable of operating at one or more standard rates, for example, 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 GMbps, 10 Mbps (10BASE-T) , 100BASE-T, 1000BASE-T and/or 10GBASE-T); potentially standardized data rates such as 40Gbps and l〇〇Gbps; and/or non-standard data rates such as 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps. In one embodiment of the invention, the connecting parties 102 and/or 104 may include a backplane PHY on which one or more standardized 200939700 data rates may be run, such as 10 Gbps (10GBASE-KX4 and/or lOGBASE-KR) And/or non-standardized data rates, such as 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps. In one embodiment of the invention, the connecting party 102 and/or 1-4 may include an optical physical layer 'on which one or more standardized data rates may be run, eg, 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 G Mbps, 10 Mbps; potential standardized data rates, For example: 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps; and/or non-standard data rates, such as 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps. Thus, the optical physical layer can be a passive optical network (p〇N) physical layer. The local connection party 102 includes a host computer 6a, a media access control (MAC) controller 108a, and a physical layer device ii 〇 a. The remote connection party 1〇4 includes a host 106b, a MAC controller 10b, and a physical layer device ii〇b. Nevertheless, the invention is not limited to the configuration. In various embodiments of the invention, the connecting party 102 and/or 104 may comprise, for example, a computer system or a device that supports audio/video (A/V). Wherein the audio/video device includes, for example, a microphone, a music, a soundboard, a sound card, a video camera, a media player, a graphic display card, or other audio and/or video device. In addition, the connecting parties 1〇2 and 1〇4 can utilize audio/video bridging and/or extended audio/video bridging (referred to as AVB in this application) to enable the exchange of multimedia content, associated controls, and/or auxiliary materials. The physical layer devices 11 〇a and 11 〇b respectively include appropriate logic devices, circuits and/or codes for communication operations, including: local connection party 102 and data between remote connection parties 1〇4 Send and receive.

For example, 'local connection side can include a multimedia server, and remote connection side 104 can include a multimedia user. Therefore, the local connection party 102 can transmit the multimedia material to the remote connection party 104 at a relatively high data transmission rate, and at the same time, the remote connection party 1〇4 transmits the control or auxiliary data related to the multimedia content at a lower data transmission rate. . Thus, the connected squares and 104 can control the uplink duty rate, which is not affected by the downlink key data rate, and the data rate transition is asymmetric. The data transmitted and received by the physical layer devices 110a and 110b can be formatted in accordance with well-known OSI protocol standards. 〇_ type is divided into seven according to operation and function. 11 200939700 Different layers: In the usual sense, each layer in the osi model is structured to serve the upper layer adjacent to it. For example, the first layer, or the physical layer, serves the second layer, and the second layer serves the third layer. The transmitted data includes the E-Tai, Xiao Media's independent interface (dirty) data frame, which is delimited by the beginning of the data flow and the end of the data flow. Typical ΜΠ include Gil (Mil), 1 () Gigabit (10), SGM II, and Simplified Gil (Mill). In an embodiment of the present invention, the host 1 and the user represent the first layer and the layers above it, the controller checks and represents the second layer and the layers above it, and the physical layer device The job and the job represent the first layer or the physical layer. Thus, the physical layer device is also referred to as a physical layer transmitter and/or receiver, a physical layer transceiver, or a Η Η γ transceiver, ΡΗΥ receiver or ΡΗΥ. The host legs and secrets may include appropriate logic, circuitry, and/or generations to operate and/or function the higher five functional layers of the data packets transmitted over the overlay 112. Because each layer in the (10) model directly provides services to the upper layer, the controller and legs will provide a mandatory service for the host 106a * 106b to ensure that the data packet can be transferred to the physical layer in a compatible format. # _和嶋处. During the transmission process, each layer adds its own header file to the data transmitted from the upper layer connected to it. However, in the case of receiving money, an adaptation device with a similar (10) structure will remove the information from the lower layer to the upper layer. The physical layer device 110b can be used for the 200939700 physical layer requirements, including but not limited to information packetization, data transmission, and SER's/reverse sizing (SERDES). The physical layer device n 〇a and the slave concealed controllers 1G8a and 1Q8b receive _ sacs containing data and for each of the 6 layers of each layer _ file Wei. The device_device and coffee can encode and encode the data packets that will be transmitted through m, or the data packets received through the environment m. The mac controller can include appropriate logic, circuitry, and/or generation

The horse is used to process the data link layer in the local connection party 1〇2, ie the layer 2 operation and/or function. Similarly, the MAC controller includes the appropriate logic device, circuit and/or code 'for handling the remote connection. Layer 2 operations in square 104 and/or work. The MAC controller i〇8a and 嶋 can perform an Ethernet protocol, for example, an Ethernet protocol based on the IEEE 802.3 standard. Nevertheless, the invention is not limited thereto. _ MAC Control n K) 8a can be connected to the physical layer device through interface 114a! The device communicates with the host 1 〇 6a via the bus control interface 116a. Control 108b can communicate with the physical layer device brain through interface 114b and with host 1 6b via bus control interface l16b. The interfaces n4a and 114b correspond to an Ethernet interface including protocol control signals and/or link management control signals. Interfaces 114a and 114b can be multi-rate interfaces and/or media independent interfaces (Mil). The bus control interface and 116b correspond to a PCI or PCI-X interface. Nevertheless, the invention is not limited thereto. In operation, control of the data transfer rate of link 112 may enable communication between connected parties 102 and 104 in a more energy efficient manner. Therefore, the use of a lower data transfer rate on link 200939700 112 reduces the power consumption on link 112 while reducing the energy consumption of the connected squares and just on. Control of the data transmission rate can be achieved by controlling multiple physical channels for data transmission, controlling the pulse amplitude (PAM) level for signaling, and controlling the signal constellation (4) for the data on the link. . Therefore, it is possible to obtain the maximum data transmission rate, zero rain, , or medium transmission rate on the ship. In the present invention - in the specific embodiment, the two or more channels of the key 〇 = can transmit the 蚪 蚪 于 in the burst state between the non-activated states, and the energy efficiency of the network 〇〇 = The reduction in skill is improved. Therefore, compared to the network that transmits =, the energy consumption of the above network has decreased. Therefore, the audio-video bridging protocol and/or the extended audio-video bridging (in this sub-filament) is used to perform the connection and the connection to the 1G side. Signal and / or training signals. Therefore, the connecting party 102 uses 10 Gbps) and the duplex mode (full duplex) to establish a reliable connection, and the connection and the m need to be used for each parameter: The line is subjected to a financial consideration such as (4) chowder around the line. Environmental conditions (such as temperature) change two or more electric peaks. Therefore, the connection can be "trained to adapt to the current environment ^ 14 200939700 pieces" with echo cancellation, far-end crosstalk cancellation and near-end crosstalk cancellation. ▲ Training parameters and / or circuits need to be updated regularly or Upgrades to enable the linker to adapt to changing conditions. In traditional networks, the connection to the physical channel that has been in the state for a period of time needs to be "retrained" so that circuits and/or parameters that may be out of date can be Updates to ensure a reliable touch on the physical channel. However, the retraining of the 敕 is usually a length operation, which is periodically checked and/or updated with the communication producers on the link = and / stat (4) to avoid complete retraining of the connected parties. Thus, for, one or more physical channels complement the connection side of the electric eucalyptus ==, θ is only troublesome 'in due to the cooperation between the training between the connected parties, and / = 3 ^ _, _ round process Will be broken. Therefore, the parameters between this issue or its H-party are changed as reasonably arranged and adjusted. Shame, the present invention can be: Coordination: or = Pontiac' for training and training of the connected parties. From this condition, the connection to the connecting party is achieved without affecting the connection of the connecting party. The circuit, the circuit and/or the code. The network's indication (4)—implements the touch-talking and management of the energy-saving entity's 'connections; 102 and ^〇4 〇' ^ the connecting parties 102 and 104 are similar to those described in FIG. 15 200939700 The monthly b network control entities 202a and 202b, collectively described as a physical view, may include appropriate logic, circuitry, and/or daisy for fine path (10) to establish and/or implement a power saving_control strategy. Thus, entity 202 can be a logical and/or functional block of line touch, MAC control n 1〇8, and/or physical layer device 11 wipe. The entity 202 can enter the traffic situation on the physical link 112: analysis and can perform knife resolution on the data operation and/or processing in the connection side and the 1〇4, and only the body 2〇2 can be from or from Information from one or more (10) model layers is handed over to facilitate the establishment and/or execution of an energy efficient network control strategy. 9

In various embodiments of the invention, the energy efficient network control strategy achieves energy efficiency improvement by managing the lean feed rate on the tear path m. The policies all need to determine when and how to perform the data transmission rate on the link 112. Therefore, the control can be used to control the data transmission rate, such as the rib sub-layer rib, the low-bar technology fast start, and the RPS. Thus, the control policy determines when and how to train the portions of the connecting parties 102 and 1.4.

'々In operation, in order to perform energy-saving network control and weaving, energy-saving network control/or management traffic (herein referred to as energy-saving network traffic, leg-off) requires: 202 exchanges through link 112. Therefore, the ideal situation is to put a similar change in the energy saving machine without any adverse effects. Therefore, this turn can be used to implement energy-saving network control and weaving in audio and video bridges. _, through audio and video bridging, so that ^ 2 〇 2 can be energy-saving network traffic exchange and / or data transmission rate change ^ - or more gaps. For example, the beginning or the end of the stipulations: the information is negotiated and / or arranged data rate conversion, and the subsequent - or more = 16 200939700 is used to, in order to implement the transformation of the data transfer rate. Similar gaps can be used to negotiate how and when to pair D on the link 112, while training is in __. The channel is synchronized in the series of puzzles or boots. For example, ❹ ❹ :: awareness can be programmed to specify which time slots are assigned to the node ^ 7 because the = frequency bridge data flow can be registered on the connection side 1〇2 and ^ seal (four), the data transfer rate of the fixed key 112 Adjust and adjust the amount. In addition, the data flow that satisfies the registered traffic plus the additional data stored for optimal communication is assigned to a specific time slot, so the actual month " is sufficient to determine which time slots are free or unused. In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the time of the first one is ΓΓ[ΓΓ], so the time of the ##-energy-saving network office f is less than 125u^, and the audio and video time slots are referred to for the transaction. In the case of the ancients, when the road axis is super-secure, in another specific embodiment, the 'energy-saving network transaction is repetitive. Therefore, the initial energy-saving network transaction needs to be heavy. The thief communicates, so that subsequent transactions become accommodative and the time required is shorter than the initial energy-saving network transaction. ^ 3a is between the two screen printing points according to the invention - implementation _ _ _ _ bridging Schematic diagram of the communication. As shown in the figure, the communication between the connections 17 200939700 and the contacts 200a and 200b on the link ΐ 2 is divided by time slots. Therefore, it is necessary to use an audio-video bridge between the connected parties 200a and 200b. The communication is managed to ensure communication quality. In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the pass L on the link 112 is: sj not be a four loop time slot (r〇tating line). Plus according to the invention...

Point = Schematic diagram of power management. In the embodiment depicted in Figure 3b, audiovisual push streams 1 and 2 can be registered between connecting parties 200a and 200b. Therefore, the day $^1 is reserved for the audio and video bridge stream 1, and the time slots 2 and 3 are reserved for the audio and video bridge finger 2 so that the data of the audio and video bridge stream i will be transmitted in the time slot 1 and the same ' The audio and video bridge stream 2 data will be transmitted in slots 2 and 3. The time slot 4 is not reserved and can be used for optimal transmission between the connection and the 2_. ^ L-slot 4 can be used, for example, to transmit a general-purpose B that does not belong to an audio-video bridged stream, or to perform a plurality of energy-saving network transactions and/or services. To be changed, it can be arranged in the time slot 4 where the ": field appears multiple times.

The phoenix and/or 2_ can be similar to the 2_Kyoyo data. In the time slot 302, the connection is changed. Therefore, the coordination and/or execution of the transitions in time slot 4 is performed, and the information is delivered to the time slot 200939700. In the example, the time slot 4 is reserved for the energy-saving network: this St The second way to reserve audio and video bridges is the same.

As shown, the flow begins in step 4〇2 and then proceeds to step 404. In step 4〇4, the energy-saving network control entity 2〇2 (Fig. 2) collects information by monitoring the traffic on the link 112 and monitoring the operations on the domain connecting parties 1〇2 and 104, and then executing the information. Step summary. In step 406, the entity 2〇2 will determine whether the energy-saving network transaction needs to be performed based on the information collected in step 4〇4 and the energy-saving network policy of the network. For example, a body 202 may decide to change the data transmission rate on link U2 and/or may determine that one or both of the connecting parties 102 and 104 require training.
